For a new country (?) to have such a high profile court case so early after it's supposed sovereignty is a lose-lose situation from the get go.
If the Iraqi's choose to execute Hussein, they will have effectively proven that the American occupation was a rouse since nothing would change perception wise through the mid east. Executions happen all the time.
The other way, if they Americanize the trial and give Saddam a life sentence without parole it will appear as if the Iraqi's have sold out. Perception is huge. Even for the Iraqi's.
